``I recognize those are all allegations, but we're talking about a multitude of high-class felonies,'' she said. ``At this point in time, since I know nothing about the case other than what I just read, I'm not going to reduce his bond.''

Nelson, 28, of Hartford, who is one of four suspects, was arrested Feb. 10 and charged with first-degree burglary, first-degree robbery, first-degree larceny, first-degree kidnapping with a firearm, second-degree criminal mischief and conspiracy.

Cresford Laing, 22, was also arrested in connection with the burglary. It was not clear Friday what his role was or whether any other suspects have been arrested.

The robbery happened Jan. 22 as the alleged victim arrived at his Village Drive apartment. He told police that as he unlocked the front door, Nelson and another man approached him with guns and forced their way into the apartment, according to an arrest affidavit.

They bound and gagged the victim. Nelson tried getting the victim to say where he kept his money by burning the man's stomach and forehead with a hot blade, the affidavit reads.

The victim told the robbers he didn't have money in the apartment, according to the affidavit.

Nelson stole $400 from the man's wallet and carried items -- totaling $10,058 -- from the apartment to a car, according to the affidavit.

They then kidnapped the victim, put him in the back seat of his own car and threatened to kill him unless he helped them get more money, the affidavit said. The men -- after picking up one more accomplice -- drove to Windsor to the residence of a man who owed the victim money.

They burglarized the Windsor home and then drove to Hartford, where they picked up one more man. The victim and his car were abandoned in the parking lot of Weaver High School, the affidavit said.
